General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Awareness

Real People. Real Advice.

Are you GDPR-compliant?

In May 2018, a new EU-wide data protection regulation came into force.

If it affects you, you will need to start thinking about compliance now. This site is designed to help you understand the GDPR, quantify the requirements, and offer solutions. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will affect every organisation in Europe that handles personal data of any kind. It will also affect any company that does business in the EU. The rules are complex and fines for non-compliance are significant (up to €20 million).

Encrypting the personal data in your systems can help satisfy many requirements of the GDPR. ESET’s solution is powerful, simple to deploy, and can safely encrypt hard drives, removable media, files and email.

ESET Endpoint Encryption allows you to meet data security obligations by easily enforcing encryption policies while keeping productivity high. With low help-desk overhead and short deployment cycles, no other product can match ESET Endpoint Encryption for flexibility and ease of use.

The client side requires minimal user interaction, improving compliance and the security of your company data from a single MSI package. The server side makes it easy to manage users’ and workstations and extend protection of your company beyond your corporate network.

How does it work?

Encryption is applied, most commonly, in two different ways:

Encrypted storage – often referred to as ‘data at rest’ – is most commonly used to encrypt an entire disk, drive or device.

This type of encryption becomes effective only once the system is stopped, the drive ejected or the encryption key blocked.

Encrypted content – also referred to as granular encryption – means, typically, encrypting files or text at the application level.

The most common example is email encryption, where the message format must remain intact for the email client application to be able to handle it, but the text body of the email is encrypted along with any attachments.

ESET Secure Authentication helps businesses to make access to their data secure. Any organisation can set up ESET’s Multi-factor authentication in just 10 minutes – and thus easily reduce the risk of data breaches, caused by stolen, weak or compromised passwords.

You can use ESET Secure Authentication for:

Accessing your company’s VPN

Remote Desktop Protocol

Additional authentication for desktop login (signing into an operating system)
